| 3 | chronic back pain | cloudy mind, withdrawal from family, apathy | While the drug(60mg 2X's a day)did do quite well at taking the edge off my pain i would never take it again 'les I was dying or had severe trauma.The worst side effect was the withdrawal from family and the thought of 'I actually drove my children around while taking this crap'. Stopped cold turkey and suffered HORRIBLE W/DRWLS. Dehydration that i had 2 get an IV 4, severe diarrhea, could not sleep, many others. been a month getting better. Don't rec. unless ur in some SERIOUS pain. | F | 32 | 2.5 years | 4/3/2008 | 5 | breakthrough pain/ Crohns Disease | Constipation -- welcomed as I have/had chronic diarreha. Pain treatment is great, works quickly if chewed up in the form of msir. MS Instant Release. Get relief from pain within 20-30 mins. Undesired -- Dependence, NOT ADDICTION. I have educated myself on these 2 terms. They are as different as night and day. Addiction arises whenever this med is use to Get high with, or the doctor scripting it does not understand dependence/addiction/withdrawls/tolerance well, and just Uses Addiction for them all. Or the doctor is not prescibing a well enough dose, or the patient is not doing his/her part, to manage/regulate the dose of this medication. in short, going 24 hours with none, using less with less pain. These both will allow this med to unbind from the opiate recepotrs in the Brain. Advice.... If you use this medication, google or search for opiate receptors. Understand as much as you can possibly take in about these amazing receptors in the brain. It all will help to take away any pre-conceived notions in which | M | 33 | 2 years | 7/6/2005 | 4 | Chronic lumbar and sciatica pain | None really, some abdominal discomfort but recently had a cholicystectomy as well so unclear if side effect or post op symptoms still | After 10 years of chronic back pain due to degenerative disk disease, lumbar stenosis, arthritis, scoliosis, and so on, I'm pretty familiar with opiates. I'm used to living life at levels varying from 8-10. I've taken thousands of vicodin in the last 3-4 years, valium, gabapentin, lortabs, dilauded, etc. My pain management doc finally gave me oramorph when I requested XR oxycontin. I've always been worried about taking oxy's due to the addiction aspect but now, due to large build up of scar tissue inside/around the spine, the pain just got bad enough to pull out the stops. I'm glad in retrospect he didn't Rx oxy as the morphine sulfate has been a god send. I can live life at a 6-8 and in conjunction with Vicodin ES or Lortabs, I actually managed to run with my dog for the first time in over 2 years just this past weekend. While it's not a miracle drug in any way, it has given me a little bit of my quality of life back. I will definitely ask my physician to keep me on this medication as a part of my future pain management. | M | 33 | 2 weeks 30mg 2X day | 6/2/2010 | 1 | chronic pain/fibromyalgia | F | 35 | 6 months | 1/18/2005 | 1 | I had a relatively minor surgery | At first nausea, then sweating, itching, my chest seized up - my heart started loudly in my ears. My eyes got all swollen and started watering, my whole body came out in a red bumpy rash. My throat started burning and breathing became almost impossible. The nurses attending to me said that i also changed colour to a light shade of blue... | It did not help with the pain at all. No relief what so ever. | F | 35 | 1 days | 10/5/2008 | 3 | pain from RA | The morphine tablets with red dye made me have resteless leg and vomiting. But I can take morphine if not coated with red dye. I notice little side effects. | Helps rheumatoid arthritis/spondylitis pain somewhat. It doesn't completely knock out my pain, but it helps. | F | 36 | 3 years | 11/24/2008 | 2 | chronic pain/back/joints | dopey, constipation, no relief at all | I have chronic pain from a combination of herniated disk/interferon treatment for Hep-C. It made me extremely dry, ravenously hungry and made my vision blurry/out of focus | M | 37 | 2 days | 5/1/2008 | 5 | kidney stone pain | slight nausia | wish this was OTC. Wow what a rush, very warm effect starting at the back of my neck and then enveloping the entire body. morphine only lasts on myself for about 30 to 45 min. demoral works better on pain for me. | M | 38 | 7 times | 10/15/2004 | 3 | M.E./fibromyalgia breakthrough pain | Hang over style headache the following day, constipation, sense of wellbeing, relaxation, regained my former zest for a short while | I would not like to be using this drug as my regular pain medication. I used co-codramol (2 x 30/500mg) and ibuprofen (1 x 400mg) alternating 3 hourly at the most and try taking less, also use TENs. Morphine sulfate is good for severe bursts of breakthrough pain not covered by your usual pain management. I think it dehydrates hence the constipation and hangover effect so not so good for daily use for me. Glad its changed other ppls lives though. Used twice previously for post op acute pain. | F | 38 | 7 days | 11/21/2006 | 4 | RSD/CRPS - severe chronic pain | Constipation - ranges from minor to moderately severe. I take movicol sachets or coloxyl to treat and increase my water and fibre intake as well. Can cause stomach cramps as well (but i get these anyway as I have IBS). | I take 75mg in the morning (1 x 15mg and 1 x 60mg) and I take 90mg at night (1 x 30mg and 1 x 60mg)of MsContin (12 hourly variety) + 30mg Anamorph (fast acting/ 4 hourly variety). | F | 39 | 12 years 75/ 90mg 2X day | 1/4/2011 | 4 | chronic neck and back pain | At times I feel unable to focus. The best I can describe it is like trying to carry on a conversation while your kid repeatedly says "dad, dad, dad". However, in my case it is often hard to concentrate due to the pain, so I call it a wash. Constipation is a minor problem considering how much it helps. Also, when it is wearing off I tend to get irritable for about half an hour so I try to isolate myself when it is wearing off(for me about 8 hours). | I find it helps with the pain but doesn't totally take it away. I actually like that because it helps keep me from over doing anything. I still do mind you, but at least I am aware of it. I still have my job and without morphine it would be impossible. I try to take it only when needed or when I am sure it is going to be a rough day. For example on weekends fishing with my sons or doing any long standing or physical work. | M | 39 | 4 years 30 MG er | 5/3/2015 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | bad constipation | helps a little, but not for the 12 hrs. like it is supposed to. I take 15mg 2x a day....some days are still really bad. was on Oxycodone, but dr. wanted me to switch to this. | F | 39 | 9 months | 2/19/2009 | 3 | septic arthritis and other illnesse | When I don't take them I get ratty & always seem to get diarrhoea, I go normal when taking them but my body use of opiates as I was on dihydrocodiene from being 22yrs old . My body in pain every day even with the MST. | F | 39 | 7 months 40mg | 3/12/2014 | 2 | Spina bifida and degenerative discs | Blurred head, stomach cramps, constipation, confusion, anxiety, heart palpitations, leg cramps, headaches and the most recent aches and pains in my arms and hands. | It is seems to me the longer i stay on this drug the more side effects i am getting. This drug does not take my pain away..... And most days i dont know who i am ... | F | 39 | 5 months | 2/21/2009 | 5 | I feel that by other pain meds I have been prescribed hydro codone and lortab used to work, but the fda did something tomake the hydro codone I have been prescribed many years ago used to work within 15 to 20 minutes taking the pain away from my foot which I severely broke and didn't get the proper help making it heal wrong.i have been in chronic severe pain the very first day I injured it which has grown worse as time passes.so I feel that by taking morphine sulfate will work, unless they have changed it to be unaffected Please email me back and if you have a true knowing that morphine sulfate will work well for me.

Thanks Sonny Harper | M | 40 | 1 days | 11/13/2015 | 5 | Complex regional pain syndrome | Sleeplessness, | It works wonders when I am having horrible pain. Pain is generally 6/10 but anythingni wr that, I take one and pain is helped | F | 40 | 5 years 30mg | 12/13/2016 | 1 | A vascular necrosis and | Slight constipation | Was taking hydrocodone 10/325 5 x daily. Switched to morphine 15 mg 5 x daily. I have received absolutely no pain relief. Taking them on a set schedule and never have a moment of relief. I was having better relief on hydrocodone. I was told that this would be a step up and actually this has been like taking nothing at all. | M | 40 | 9 days 15mg | 1/29/2017 | 3 | Chronic back pain & sciatica | Extremely bad nasty dreams. | Was on dihydrocodein for 14years for chronic pain suspecyted endrametriosis. Got a womb procedure done an endometrial ablation and woke from anaesthetic with severe pain in the lower left back and sciatica. The MST only takes the edge off the actual pain but better than nothing I do agree that dihydrocodein was brilliant for pain relief. | F | 41 | 3 years 160mg a da | 2/8/2017 | 2 | Lumbar laminectomy L3 to S1 | Nothing other than constipation & feeling detached or depressed | F | 41 | 3 weeks 15 mg | 5/29/2014 |
